LONDON, August 6.-The Morning Post
referring to the nionist banquet, last
evening, says the majority of Glad
stonians will be dampened when they
read accounts of the bsHeaet.-Lord
Harrington shows no dismay over the
prospect OF coalition and, ConseTva-
tives have no reason to dread it,
The Netos says Lord Hartingt tons In
lmation that he will join government
during the recess, takes precedence over
every other political incident. He is
probably awaiting the result ofJathe
Norwich election. II the ,Glsdstonian
candidate is elected, Lord Harrington
will probably ccnclUd de there is no help
for 1t, and that he must either seize the
reins himself or see them dragged in the
mud
The Standard says it regrets that the
banquet given to Lord Harrington by
Liberal Unionists last night did not
precede the recent parliamentary cleo
tons, and that it imegines perusai of
the speeches made at the banquet viii

LONDON. August 6.-Chamberlain, in
his speech at the Liberal Unionist ban
quet to Lord Harrington last night,
said the bye elections for members of
Parliament really redounded to the
credit of Liberal Unionists. They
show that Gladstonians are rapidly
abandoning the evils of the Gladstone
heresy. All the recent Gladstonian
candidates were fervent worshippers of
tbs four points laid down by Lord
Harrington year ago. They assure us
that they have reason to believe Glad
stone is q convert to the Unionist-
Liberal principles, and are Indignant if
any one is sceptical on this point. Our
opponents appropriate our opinions and
prosecute Us for holding them.

A Strong Testimonial

Editor Enquirer have been north as
far as Ceutreville and Bountiful by ipyi-
tation from Mr.. Samuel Smith, for the
purpose of visiting several orchards
introduced in that section of country
during the last four years by the
Geneva Nursery, and was most agree
ably surprised to find the various kinds
of fruit trees much finer even than Mr..
Smith had represented them to be. The
fruit that I saw. such as pears, cherries,
grapes, ETC.. and the satisfaction heard
expressed by parties who have bought
and are still buying from the Geneva
Nursery, satisfies me that the proprie-
tors are square-dealing and reliable
business gentlemen, and that they are
introducing class of fruit into this
Territory that if properly cultivated,
will bring good profit to the producer.

The Fisheries Trouble.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-Secretary
Whitney recently received the following
report, dated Halifax, July Both, from
Admiral Luce, commanding the North
Atlantic squadron: "As there ap-
peared to be want of information on
| the part of our fishermen operating in
| the waters of the Gulf of st. Lawrence,
| in regard to the restrictions imposed
upon. foreign fishing vessels by the
Canadian laws, a SSHes of interrogato-
ries were submitted to Captain Scott, of
the Canadian fisheries service, covering
the rights and the statutory restrictions,
and | have the honor to enclose here
with the answer. II NUMBER of these
circulars will be distributed among the
fishing feet for the informs alton OF those
concerned. The enclosure is printed
sheet headed "Queries," and contains
series of questions submitted by
Admiral Luce and the replies thereto
by Captain Scott. Admiral Luce yes
terday cabied the following TO Admiral
Luce, Halifax: 81 assume that your
application to Captain Scott was not
for the purpose of obtaining from him
an expression of the law, but to enable
our fishermen to know the extent of the
Canadian claim, and thus avoid diff
cuities, if they should so choose. This
is not quite clear from your report, and
it would be better to issue no more cir
culars, and to withdraw such as are
within your reach. Captain Scott is
not Understood to be the agent of his
government for any such purpose as
that for which you have employed him,
and If he were the application might
more properly be made to our own
government, in case a correct state
ment of the Canadian claim is desired.

A NICE HORSE STORY.

On Broad street one day paused
to.pat the no,e of beautiful horse
which stood by the curb and to COM
miserate his misfortune. For this
beautiful animal, though sleek of
coat and shapelys in body and limb,
was apparently suffering most excru-
ciating torture. His head had been
checked inhumanly high, and the
cruel bit, drawing tightly in his
mouth, disfgured an animal face Of
unusual charm and intelligence.
was just fancying that the horse had
begun to understand and appreciate
my words Of synpathy, when the la.
dy who sat in the carriage holding
the reins fumbled in her pocket pro-
duced lump Of white sugar, and
asked me to give it to the horse.
"IIe Is very fond Of sugar" she
exclaimed, ''and ! have quite won
his heart by feeding it to him. | al
ways carry sugar in my pocket while
out driving, and give lin lump at
every opportunity. | never knew a
horse to be so fond of sugar. Will
you please give him another lump"
Certainly" l replied. 81 see
that you are quite as fond of the
horse as he is of sweets
"Yes, think everything of him."
"Then why do you torture him."
"Torture my Prince?"
Yes, that is just what you are do
ing. Doyou not know that the poor
animal suffers agony because his
head is checked so unnaturally high?
His neck is drawn out straight, pro-
ducing a most ungraceful angle, he
holds his head. awkwardly, the bit is
hurting his mouth, and that graceful
curvature of neck and carriage OF
head which are his in nature are
now entirely lost Why do you
check him so high?"
She Didn't know. She was not
aware that high checking was
source of pain to horses, nor that ii
destroyed their natural beauty. She
was amazed at the discovery.
MAY | trouble you to loosen his
check?" she asked.
When the strap was unwrapped
the horse Immediately lowered his
head, Strengthened the cramps out of
his handsome neck, shook himself TO
be sure that he had actually been re-
leased from bondage, and then look
ed around with such a grateful, de-
lighted expression in his intelligent
eyes that his mistress declared no
more checking straps should. be used
upon him.

UNBROKEN PROSPERITY.

Unbroken prosperity during long
years of cloudless sunshine, undis-
turbed by days of storm and stress.
is what most minds desire, but which
our Heavenly Father mercifully de-
MES. He knows that our indolent
natures would become stagnant pools
of corruption in such an untroubIed
calm. Hence He commands the ap-
parently pitiless storm to beat upon
our heads, until, like mariners over
taken by hurricane after being
waited gently by trade winds for
many days on smooth sea, We rouse
ourselves, put fourth our sleeping
energies, and recover our fass per-
ishing self-mastery, by the re-ener-
giving of our faith. after such visi-
tations if the ''root of matter" be in
us, we learn to thank God for the
unwelcome storm, saying, as David
did, Before | was afflicted | went
astray, but now have | kept Thy
word" Would our faith but listen
as it should, it would never fail to
hear Gods sweet voice of love pierre
ing through the widest storms that
burst upon us.

A FARMER,S CREED.

l. That the farming interest lies
at the foundation of the success of all
other avocations, and a failure in it
means depression in all other pur-
suits.
2. That it is as honorable to be a
good farmer as to be good anything
else; that every successful farmer
does receive his need of praise, and
only the successful in all other call
ings receive the same.
B. That success can only be OBJ
tanned by a strict observance of the
laws of success. These are, first, at
tend TO and overlook your business
yourself; don't trust it to free ne
gro or a lazy white man; second, al
ways commence in time and plough

turning it on the surface, so much

vate shallow corn should be put six
inches in the ground and covered
one and half or two inches, so that
it will be below the surface when it
comes up.
4. Raise all the corn, meat, oats,
and other grain you need to run the
farm. 1t is reflection on mans
farming sense to have to send off to
the Northwest for corn and meat in
the spring when we can raise it here
50 much cheaper. Ii you raise all
you consume on the farm, then raise
as much cotton as you please.

can on the farm and compost with
bone dust or phosphate. Keep no
useless stock to eat up the profits OF
the farm.
6. Rotate crops, and don't run
! the land TO death with the same crop,
year after year.
7. Keep out Of debt if such thing
is possible. 1t is a big per cent. that

8. Be honest; pay your debts if
you have made any. The world can
not respect dishonest man and he
cannot respect himself, and he is put

option on farm in Findlay, o., for
Sos, 900 cash with the privilege of
buying outright within six months
for $4,000 more. Wells were put
down and gas found, but before the
option expired the farmer died. Then
it was found that the farm was in his
wife's name and that neither the
wife nor children knew anything of
the $50, 900 that had been paid. The
spectators could not get the place

FLORIDA FRUIT.

Florida Letter to Cleveland Leader.
In this region, also, cocoanuts and
plneapples are grown, and the cocoa
nut industry is being largely cultiva-
ted in south Florida. Pineapples
and cocoanuts pay very we'll. Ten
thousand pineapples can be raised, it
is said, to the acre, and an acre of
ground will support fifty cocoanut
trees. The cocoanut trees require
little cultivation. They begin to
to bear at from nine to twelve years
of age, and they produce from 80 to
$50 nuts to the tree. Cocoanuts
bring about five cents apiece to the
the grower, and, supposing a ten
acre grove will yield 10000 nuts, it
will bring in an income of $1,000 a
year. There have been many cocoa
nut groves planted within the last
two or three years in south Florida.
Mr.. Field, OF Middletown, N. J., has
about 100000 trees. They are plant
ed 20 feet apart each way on a strip
of land in Dade county, near the At
lantic ocean. Mr.. Field thinks that
the ground along the ocean is the
best for the cocoanut.
